To Quickly create formatted documents like resumes or reports from plain text can be tedious and time-consuming.
Grok AI offers a straightforward way to generate PDFs directly from chat prompts, even allowing for HTML editing for finer control.
Here's how (example for a resume (CV)):
1. Go to Grok.com (http://grok.com) on a desktop browser and log in.
2. In the chat, clearly describe the PDF you want. For example: "Create a clean, modern resume for a product manager with 7 years of experience at SaaS companies. Include summary, key skills, work history, and education."
3. Grok will show a preview. You can ask for changes (e.g., "add a key projects section") or click the code button to edit the HTML yourself, then hit Preview.
4. Once satisfied, click the download arrow to save your PDF.
The transformation: This hack saves significant time on document formatting, letting you focus on the content while AI handles the presentation.
